The Pavilion, Boise Contemporary Theater

Andy Lawless/Actor: Andrea Caban/GOD'S EAR 2008Andrea Caban currently plays the role of Narrator in BCT's production of The Pavilion.

With a wave of her small hand, The Pavilion's black-clad narrator
creates the universe from a drop of water, triggers shooting stars and
bathes BCT's wood-floored stage in "a most poetic lavender light."
Played exquisitely by Andrea Caban, the narrator changes roles
continuously throughout the performance, morphing into dozens of
characters--from an all-knowing Creator to a petty Minnesota housewife
to a pot-smoking small town sheriff.

Set at the Pine City class of 1990 high school reunion, Craig
Wright's three-person play follows the reconciliation of high school
sweethearts Kari (Hollis Welsh) and Peter (Dywane Blackaller). As the
night progresses and imaginary wine cooler bottles pile up on the
venue's imaginary tables, you begin to see the wrinkles caused by 20
years of longing and regret.

BCT's stage is set minimally—with hundreds of single, dangling
light bulbs that act both as stars and warm dancehall lighting. Though
there are only three actors, each fills the room with their delicately
portrayed emotions. Check out this fantastic play about the effects of
time before time runs out.
